Are these strategies tips or signals I should trade blindly?

No. They are educational frameworks — combinations of screeners with explicit entry/stop/target rules. Whether a given match becomes a profitable trade depends on the broader market regime, your position sizing, and your risk discipline. Always sanity-check on your own chart before placing an order.

How many strategies are in the library?

6 canned playbooks covering intraday, swing and positional time-horizons across bullish, bearish and mean-reversion biases. New templates are added when a recurring multi-screener pattern proves itself across 100+ historical matches.

Which strategy works best in the Indian market?

No strategy is universally best — they each have a market regime they're designed for. In a clean trending market, Momentum Swing and Breakout Trader perform best. In a choppy range-bound market, Reversal Hunter outperforms. For a buy-and-hold core, Quality Value Portfolio is the long-term anchor.

Can I customise a strategy or do I have to follow it exactly?

Customise. Every strategy lists its component screeners with explicit reasoning — you can swap a screener for a related one (e.g., 50-EMA cross instead of 20-EMA cross) once you understand why each component is there. The "why" sections on each strategy page exist specifically so you can adapt without breaking the underlying logic.

Are intraday strategies suitable for beginners?

Generally no. Intraday playbooks like the ORB Stack require active screen time, fast execution and tight risk control — skills built over many sessions. Start with the Quality Value Portfolio (monthly rebalance) or Momentum Swing (daily check) to build process and discipline before attempting intraday.

How is a strategy different from a single screener?

A single screener filters stocks on one condition (e.g., 'price crossed above 20 EMA'). A strategy stacks 3–5 such conditions and adds the trade plan around them — entry trigger, stop-loss placement, target, and the failure modes that should keep you out. The screener gives you a watch-list; the strategy turns the watch-list into a trade.

What is a trading strategy template?

A trading strategy template is a pre-built combination of 3–5 screeners stacked into a single playbook with explicit entry rules, stop-loss, target and a candid 'when this fails' note. A single screener tells you which stocks meet one condition; a strategy template tells you which stocks meet a complete trade thesis. The work the template removes is the hardest work in trading — deciding which signals actually combine into an edge instead of cancelling each other out.

How to pick the right strategy for your style

Match the strategy to the holding period you can actually monitor. Intraday strategies (ORB stack) need you watching the screen at the open and through the first 90 minutes. Swing setups (Momentum Swing) want a daily check at 15:25 IST. Positional and portfolio strategies (Quality Value Portfolio) want a monthly rebalance, no daily action. Picking an intraday playbook when you can only check the market at lunch is the #1 reason new traders blow up.

Match the strategy to the market regime. Trend-following strategies (Momentum Swing, Breakout Trader) work in directional markets and chop in range-bound ones. Mean-reversion strategies (Reversal Hunter) do the opposite. Look at the Nifty 50 daily chart — if it's been in a clean trend for 6+ weeks, prefer trend strategies; if it's been chopping inside a 4–5% range, prefer reversal setups.

Position-size to the worst-case loss, not the typical loss. Every strategy here has a 'fails when' section listing the specific conditions that produce its worst losses. Read it before sizing. The same playbook can be a 0.5R loss in a normal market and a 3R loss when a stated failure mode triggers.

Strategy templates are not signals

Each playbook is an educational framework, not a live tip. The screeners that feed each strategy refresh continuously, but whether a given match becomes a trade depends on your own confirmation, sizing and risk tolerance. Every strategy page ends with a YMYL disclaimer for a reason. Treat the strategies as starting points to design your own variant — most experienced traders run 2–3 variations of the same template tailored to their account size, holding period and risk budget.

How to use the strategy library

1Open one strategy that matches your style and read the full playbook end-to-end — entry, stop, target, and especially the "fails when" section.
2Click each component screener to see today's live matches against that single condition.
3Find stocks that appear on every component of the stack — those are the high-conviction candidates the strategy is designed to surface.
4Sanity-check the broader market regime (Nifty trend, sector breadth) before placing the trade — strategies fail when the regime contradicts them.
5Track outcomes for 20–30 trades per strategy before judging it. Below that sample size, randomness dominates results.
